Connecting Communications Cables to General-purpose Slaves Section 5-2
Note The communications current consumption indicated for Expansion Units are
the additional current consumed when the Expansion Unit is connected to a
Basic Unit. For example, the current consumption for a DRT2-ID16 Basic Unit
used with an XWT-OD16 Expansion Unit is 60 + 10 = 70 mA.
5-2 Connecting Communications Cables to General-purpose
Slaves
Communications cables are connected to General-purpose Slaves using nor-
mal square connectors.
5-2-1 Connecting Communications Cables
Use the following procedure to prepare the communications cables and con-
nect them to the connectors.
The same methods are used to connect the cables to connectors with and
without set screws.
1,2,3... 1. Remove about 30 to 80 mm of the cable covering, being careful not to dam-
age the mesh shield underneath. Do not remove more than necessary. Re-
moving excessive cable covering may cause a short-circuit.
2. Peel back the mesh shield carefully to expose the signal lines, power lines,
and the shielding wire. The shielding wire will be loose on the outside of
